Your anti-corporate mentality ruins you
i'm not anti corporate.
i'm anti corporate influence in politics, and anti monopoly.
probably worked in the corporate world much longer than most here.
that said, i've also watched things change greatly from the 70s till today, in how they treat both employees and customers.
that said, i am not blind to what a corporation is, and how media is affected when corporate.
most are totally blind to it though. i'm guessing you are blind to it.
while we get both sides on social issues from corp media, we only get one side on economic issues, and will only ever get that one side on economic issues.
just business. it can be no other way.
when media is corporate, it's corporate nature influences all coverage of everything economic in nature.
unlike privately owned media, (most newspapers and many tv/radio stations were once privately owned. virtually none now are), it literally has no ability to not shape it's coverage according to it's own financial interest.
why while currently we have liberal and conservative media in regards to social issues, all corp media is far right on all economic issues.
a corp media platform cannot be pro worker or pro consumer on anything economic in nature that would effect either it or it's revenue sources.
it's corporate nature and ownership model in of itself can never allow that, even if all who are running said media would like otherwise, and wish they could accurately give the left side of economic issues.
you think Rachel and Stephanie and Tucker and Anderson wouldn't love to say things they flat are not allowed to say???
and it's "corporate" nature is now on steroids.
the media corporations now aren't just the media entity itself, but are multinational conglomerates of which the media entity is just a small part.
thus the media entity's coverage isn't just shaped by the best interests of the media entity itself, but all the multinational conglomerate interest of the entity, and of it's advertisers and other revenue sources.
and now major stock holders of said conglomerate entity are not just major holders in said multinational conglomerate entity itself, but also major share holders of big finance/banking, big energy/oil, big pharma, big insurance, etc.
so all financial coverage is now influenced by the best interests of all those other industries as well.
the ownership tree isn't a personal opinion, it's non disputable fact.
if you think the media entity itself, thus it's coverage on things financial in nature, isn't hijacked to serve the best interests of not only the entire conglomerate, but everything else under that multi trillion dollar ownership tree as well, then you have zero understanding of how corps work, how hedge funds work, and have no business commenting on the subject.
when corporate, the media entity becomes the a PR tool of said conglomerate, and it's entire ownership tree, and those of it's major revenue sources.
if not, then management would be seen as a "bad fit", and shown the door.
